the streets sidewalks or other public places or yards or driveways of private premises at the they do not cause visual blight in our neighborhoods do not damage private property and do not interfere with private property and whereas this ordinance is an effort to reduce unwanted litter and visual blight caused by unsolicited rent materials on public property in the yards and driveways of private premises to prevent damage to private property and to further prevent interference with private property and whereas this ordinance does not in any way deprive or diminish a private property owner's right to protect his or her premises from unsolicited or unwanted rent materials and then there's the uh uh now therefore be it ordained the ordainment Clause ordained by the Fiscal Court of the county of Davis calth of Kentucky and there's two rather lengthy sections I'm not going to read through all those we uh used uh a lot of the language in this ordinance from F County uh which passed a sort of an identical ordinance uh I don't know when it's been maybe a number
